No interest

We all are aware that Tokyo Game Show 2018 is underway and while there is so much on Sony’s list. The senior vice president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Hiroyuki Oda was able to spare few lines regarding Sony’s handheld console, PS Vita. Oda said to Famitsu at TGS 2018 that the production of PS Vita shall end next year in Japan. He also added that there is no successor being planned, for this handheld console. Currently, we do not have any plans regarding a new handheld device, in Japan, we will manufacture PlayStation Vita until 2019. From there, shipping will end. This is not the first time we are hearing about PS Vita’s manufacturing reaching its end, Sony has been highlighting this topic from time to time.

One way to finance a new PC is by putting the purchase on a credit card, but then you have to contend with potentially high interest fees. Amazon has a better way. The online retailer is letting some customers spread out major PC purchases over the course of five months, with zero interest.It's not clear how many people Amazon is inviting to participate in the new program, or what the exact criteria is to qualify. However, for those who are invited, there are "no finance charges, no interest or hidden fees, and no credit check or application required." The price is the same, but with the benefit of being able to off a shiny new PC or pricey component upgrade in five installments instead of one lump sum.The program was spotted by Destructoid, though not everyone is seeing the offer when hitting the source link. Count me among that crowd, though I do see the option for the smartphone category. Here's what Amazon states in its related terms and conditions:"To be eligible for this offer, … [Read more...] about Amazon is offering some customers five interest-free months to pay for PC parts

While the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) has always gone for a dark and gritty tone, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has taken a different approach to include light-hearted elements. Zack Snyder has jumped between director and producer to ensure the gloomy theme for the former. However, the Russo brothers have not been afraid to sing a similar tune for the latter. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), and Avengers: Infinity War (2018) have all featured grave subject matters with the goal to be taken very seriously by the audience. There are none of the regular one-liner jokes, at least not in abundance, that the MCU has been signatory to over the years. Speaking during a promotional event (via CBN) last week, the Russo brothers were asked if they would be willing to take on projects for the DCEU since their cinematic tone seems like a good fit. In response, Anthony and Joe Russo revealed that they have no interest in doing so. They further … [Read more...] about Russo Brothers Not Interested in Taking DCEU Projects, Here’s Why

In 2017 microtransaction and loot boxes made a lot of headlines, especially for EA. Players were really angry with the concept and wanted to change it somehow. Monster Hunter: World producer Ryozo Tsujimoto spoke with Trusted Reviews, and shockingly said microtransactions don’t make any sense for Capcom’s game, as it could cause friction among players and disrupt or dilute the core monster slaying experience. This is a co-op game and you’re going out in up to four-people parties. The idea is that there’s a harmony in the four players going out and you’re going to get on well together. If you feel someone hasn’t earned what they’ve got or they’ve got a better weapon just because they paid for it and you worked for yours, that creates frictio. Capcom has no interest in making money from its customer rather making the game more competitive. The producer went on talking about making the game skill based rather than money. “Even in a … [Read more...] about Monster Hunter: World Is Not Greedy, No Micro-transactions And Loot Boxes

How's your memory? Excellent. Then you'll no doubt remember all about the reveal trailer released by Capcom for its newly announced futuristic fancy Remember Me. Well forget all about that because now there's a gameplay demo and it makes the memory-sacking action look much, much more interesting. Seriously. Watch it: So where the earlier trailer had us drawing comparisons with the likes of Uncharted and Deus Ex, now we've seen amnesiac Joanna Dark-a-like protagonist Nilin complete an objective we're inclined to add Watch Dogs, Hitman, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed and Ghost Trick to that list of familiar gaming shades. The mind-burgling segment looks pretty neat and should provide some ingenious ways to eliminate targets. That said, it's not clear from this small glimpse if kills will be reliant on simply figuring out the single correct sequence of variables through trial-and-error, or if players will be able to execute assassinations through a variety of different creative … [Read more...] about Remember Me gameplay demo makes Capcom’s new IP look way more interesting
